Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB FutureA+
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B+.

Some picks age like wine; Ethan Downs at pick 240 will need to, sitting 50 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They banked enough surplus on Grant to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 26 they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach Round 2, Pick 7 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick No. 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick45 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the 45th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at pick 72 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 130th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
They paid sticker price for Aeneas Peebles in the 148th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They took Andres Borregales at par in Round 5, Pick 22, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They went early on Isaac TeSlaa in the 227th pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
A big swing on Ethan Downs at No. 240, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
